A/N: I'm a horrible terrible person -_-
Yes I know I have a bunch of projects I've yet to finish
but they're on the backburner and I'll get to
them when I feel like it :D Sorry, but the
last bunch of snippets, if you were reading
properly, were DEAD PROJECTS. So don't
get your hopes up 9_9

Oh yes, Silverlight you are evoul but I have
those fanarts still waiting to be scanned :3
We'll see who's more evoul. En garde!

And to all the people frustrated with my snippets:
if it pisses you guys off that much, I'll just stop them ^_^
It's no big deal because they hit and run off on me
anyways and then I'd have to struggle to wrap them up.

-----

"Stop it."

She hummed happily.

"Really. I mean it."

She continued on humming.

"If you don't stop..."

"If I don't stop, Li-kun, what will you do?"

"I'll.... I'll tie you up in leather and then kiss you
within an inch of your life."

"Oooh.. you're SO naughty Li-kun... *SPANK!*"

"Oh, baby, YEAH!"

Before the two proceeded to display one of the
many magical things in nature, they were interrupted.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"

A shadowed figure whirled around in her room and
a visible sweatdrop fell from her head. A furious
goddess stood poised at the doorway with the light filtering behind
her, making her features shadowed.

"Oh ho ho ho ho... Nothing. Nothing at all!" the shadowed
figure in the room giggled all-too-innocently as she hid
her chibi puppets behind her back.

"Tch, whatever," the goddess at the door huffed, "Kami-sama
called you. Something 'bout your sister, Sakura."

"Sakura?!" the shadowed figure gasped as she teleported
her chibi puppets into Hammerspace(tm) and rushed passed the bewildered
goddess.

-----

"Ah... here you are. Congradulations, Kinomoto-san! You
are now officially registered in Nekomi Tech! Your schedule will
be ready in a few days! Have a nice day!" the chirpy receptionist
smiled brightly.

Sakura nodded happily and accpeted her registration papers.
Syaoran was waiting in the lounge room with his hands tucked behind
his head.

He looked up as Sakura beamed happily, "I can't believe it!
My first year in school!"

"You don't have school in... um..." Syaoran twirled his
hand, thinking of a word, "well, Heaven?"

Sakura shook her head, "We don't have schools, but we're
apprenticed you can say. Gods and goddesses are born with the
innate ability and knowledge of their powers but we just learn how
to properly use them and when."

"Believe me, school isn't what it's cracked up to be," Syaoran
muttered as he rolled his eyes, thinking of the piles of semester
essays screaming to be done, "my personal enemy is Japanese. Gods,
I hate that subject!"

"Japanese? But you speak it well enough and your chinese
accent doesn't even show!" Sakura blinked, surprised.

"Well, it's the grammar I have trouble in. I've never
gotten the hang of it at all!" Syaoran shuddered as he thought of
the numerous exercises he still had yet to do.

"it can't be that bad! I mean, at least you've been to
school. To be honest with you, I'm nervous!" Sakura sweatdropped,
"I love being around people, but this is my first time going
to a mortal's school! I'm excited and nervous and it's confusing
me so much!"

Syaoran chuckled lightly. "It's not that bad once you get
over that demeaning introduction to the class. With your beauti- um..."
Syaoran caught himself and blushed, unnoticed by Sakura, "your
foreign features, you're bound to get some attention though.
And don't forget about those popular snobby types. They might get
jealous of you or try to be your bestest of friends. They're
vipers, I say."

Sakura went swirly-eyed, "You're not helping, Li-kun..."

"SYAORAN~!"

Syaoran was then plummeled by a oxygen-depriviating
glomp trademarked to squealing fangirls and adoring fiancees. Meilin
smilied cattily. She brought out a plastic bag, filled with
food.

"Look, look! I got some lunch for us! Let's eat it under
a cherry blossum tree and have a fun afternoon!" Meilin suggested
as she clasped her hand with Syaoran's.

Syaoran sighed as he was being plowed away. Meilin looked
over her shoulder at Sakura's still form, "Hey, Kinomoto! I said 'us'!
That meant you too!"

Sakura blinked and then smiled warmly, walking alongside
the couple.

-----

She tacked her neat fingernails together as the computer
screen displayed seemingly endless pages of data. Her eyebrows
were knitted together in concentration as she began to type
and spoon ice cream into her mouth in sync.

"Yggdrasil system: Run scan on Syaoran Li. Search for
any past experiences with deities or supernatural instances."

She waited, the sound of a tiny constant blip resounding
in the empty room.

The screen stopped moving and she read it over. Marble grey
eyes hardened as she threw her ice cream cup into a nearby garbage
can and ran out of the room.

-----

'Wow! This dim sum is amazing!" Sakura complimented in awe
as she proceeded to help herself with some more.

"Of course it is!" Meilin puffed up her chest, "I spent
years perfecting my skills and I can tell you that my cooking
rivals the best of China!"

"Too bad you reduce everything else in nuclear waste,"
Syaoran muttered.

Meilin promptly jabbed him painfully in the shoulder.

"So, tell me about yourself, Kinomoto-san," Meilin
inquired as she began to feed a reluctant Syaoran.

"Well.. I've said it before, there's not much about me,"
Sakura nibbled on her chopstick, "I don't have parents because
all gods and godesses are born from Kami-sama, but I do have a
sister, well half-sister, and a older brother. One's in charge of
the Yggdrasil system, that's the system that keeps everything
on Earth in check, and the other is a God of Storms. He's got an
amazing Second Sight. I love them both very much!"

"Hmmm..." Meilin looked thoughtful, "you said 'half-sister'.
What do you mean by that?"

"Well... it's a bit personal," Sakura explained, "she's
half-demon you see, but she wanted to change her ways, but no one
can ever fully convert. Her powers can get somewhat chaotic."

Meilin nodded, understanding then she asked, her eyes
softening a bit, "Ne, Kinomoto-san, don't you get lonely without
them?"

Sakura blinked. She lowered her chopsticks and her
expression turned tense. Syaoran's amber eyes peered
from his dark bangs. She turned her head so that her light brown hair
covered her melancholy spring eyes. A flash of pale hands
reaching out for her passed by her mind.

"In all honesty... sometimes I miss them," Sakura then
brightened as she turned back to her company, "but I don't need them
to be constantly by my side to know they love me and that I love them."

Meilin smiled warmly as she placed her hands on her hips,
"That's right! If two people love each other very much, nothing can
stand in their way! Their bond is stronger than anything in Heaven!"

Sakura and Syaoran blinked, dotted-eyed as Meilin began to
express passionately her thoughts of true love.

"That's... that's really cheesy, Meilin-san," Sakura
murmured quietly.

Meiling whirled, sending almost all the food flying,
"Enough of the -san stuff. I think we can be friends, Sakura-chan!"

Sakura's eyes widened and her smile lit up tenfold. "I-I
don't know what to say... arigato Meilin-chan. But what about you?
Tell me about yourself."

"Well..." Meilin placed a dainty finger on her chin,
robust red eyes gazing at the sky, "I'm Syaoran's cousin and we
are both from the Li Clan, the most prominent family in
China. I like martial arts, skating and basically just having
fun! My mother is a chinese opera singer and my father is a
businessman. We always see each other but man," Meilin shook her head,
"my mom can be such a pain in the butt!"

"She seems like a nice enough woman," Syaoran interjected.

"She has to be, Syaoran," Meiling sighed, "you're the
heir to the Li Clan... or was."

Syaoran arched his brow at her, "Meilin..."

Meilin looked at Syaoran, "What? Did you think I went
to Japan for a vacation? I'm here to bring you back before
you lost your title as heir permanently!"

Syaoran didn't seem bewildered at all and seemed to be
controlling his emotions as he set down his food to stare
her straight in the eye. Sakura shivered as she saw the
wolfish appearance he held in the shade of the trees.

"I won't go back!" Syaoran exclaimed as Meilin protested
and tried to persuade. Frustration was etched clearly across his face,
"nothing you do or say can make me! Some other butthead can take my
place as heir for all I care!"

Meilin tightened her hands into fists, "You have
an obligation for the Li clan though, Syaoran! Your loving family
misses you! _I_ missed you! We've been in such a disarray since
you've left months ago!"

Sakura glanced at the two quarreling and discreetly
noted that Syaoran's eyes burned with indignance, as if
returning to his home was an insult.

"THEY were the ones who cast me out! My so-called
loving family turned their backs to me when I pleaded
in the rain! I doubt my mother even notices that I'm gone,
dwelling on her stupid prophecies!" Syaoran's voice raised
in volume.

"How can you be so ungrateful!?" Meilin flailed her
arms to the sides, eyes tearing up with emotion, "why won't
you just admit you were the one at fault? We're giving
you a chance to come back AND get back your title!"

Syaoran's eyes flared with cold anger as he crossed
his lean arms across his chest. He stared at his cousin,
"I don't give a flying damn."

With that, he picked up and left, his prescence
leaving a cold silence.

Sakura clutched Meilin as the girl cried into her
shoulders.

"Why? Why?" Meilin sobbed frustratingly as she
gripped the soft wool of Sakura's sweater, "why won't he
listen?!"

The goddess gently held Meilin as the agonized young woman
sobbed into her. Sakura looked forlornly at Syaoran's haunched
and slowly disappearing form.

'Li-kun.. what happened in China that made you come
here?'

That night, the household was eeriely quietly. Save
for Kero's gargles and smacks as he wolfed down his supper,
the table was quiet. The Guardian wasn't entirely dense to
not notice the subdued auras his two housemates had. He sat back
and peered at the two with his squinty eyes.

"Oi, what's up? You two act as if you're deader than
Hades' toenails," Kero said as he chewed on a piece of steak.

Sakura almost dropped her fork, startled by the question.

"It's nothing stuffed animal," Syaoran intoned
darkly.

"STUFFED ANIMAL!! Stupid gaki, that's it!" Kero hovered in
the air with his spoon and proceeded to bap relentlessly on Syaoran's
head, "Want some of this? Huh, huh?"

"Kero-chan, I think you should stop," Sakura said as
she nervously reached over to take the spoon out of the
enraged Guardian.

"I'm full. Thanks for the meal, Sakura," Syaoran
replied quietly amongst the fuss. He left the dining room.

Sakura's shoulders drooped and Kero looked at her
concernedly.

"What's got that kid so strung up?" Kero questionned,
scrunching his nose.

"I don't know, but it's time I found I found out,"
Sakura replied as she marched after him.

----

Outside, things were beginning to stir into motion.
The winds changed, the trees shivered and the shadows stretched
as if shedding off a disguise. The moon wavered in the sky,
its usual blue-tinted light was murky and wrong. Cats mrowled
and hissed and the streetlights flickered and shook as powerful
magic began to accumalate. It gripped the streets and ripped
gaping cracks. Houses rumbled in response to the magic.

Then it stopped.

The shadows screamed as they were torn apart all of a
sudden and a sinister form was born to life. Ice blue eyes
glowed eeriely as they bore solidly into the temple.
Inky wings protruding from its back as white grey robes began to
emerge from the murky oblivion.

"Sakura," it whispered hoarsely, "tadaima."
